San Marco

VENICE

At a glance

Piazza San Marco is probably the best known spot in town, and it is so important amongst locals that it is said that everyone who lives in Venice passes beyond San Marco at least once a day. The wonderful square in front of the cathedral, full of children who feed the birds, souvenir sellers and cafés with live music (some of which are probably the most expensive coffee bars in Italy!), is definitely a must for those who visit Marco Polo's home town. As you walk around it, don't forget to have a look at the Palazzo Ducale (Duke's Palace) and Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs), which connects the courtroom with the ancient jail. For those who are not scared of heights, we recommend climbing the tower of St. Mark’s Basilica, which overlooks the entire town and gives you the most spectacular sights in Venice. If you prefer not to get so high, you could go for a ride on a Gondola around the canals.

This apartment is very close to the Vaporetto stop, and in a high location, thus out of the area of flooding (the so-called acqua alta) in Venice, for the water never reaches the apartment area. Connections to the minor islands around Venice (including Burano, Murano and Lido di Venezia) are also available.
